IMPROVEMENT lN BLACKSMITHS BUTTERISES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,044, dated October 8, 1872.

. Fig. 1.

This invention relates to an improvement on a-blacksmiths butteris patented to John H. Rhamy June 11, 1872, Letters Patent No. 127,708, and consists of a simple lever, bifurcated and provided with a curved lateral slot,

- in combination with a simple lever provided with a paring-knife, and a simple lever slotted and provided with an anvil-block, the object of the invention being to produce a blacksmiths butteris cheap, efficient, and of great leverage, for the purpose of paring horses hoofs, and of cutting ofif nails therein.

In the drawing, A is a simple lever, having a bifurcation, B, and a curved lateral slot, 0. D is a simple lever, provided with a paringknife, E, having its fulcrum in a verticallyslotted lever, F, provided with an anvil-block, G. A flange, H, upon the under side of the lever F, enters the bifurcation B in the lever A, and a ,pin, I, forms the fulcrum for the latter. The head of the lever D, or that portion near the paring-knife E, is of about the same dimensions as the head of the lever F; but the remaining portion is made small enough to pass through the vertical slot J in the lever F, where a pin, K, forms its fulcrum, and into the bifurcation B, where a pin, L, fixed in the end of the lever D, works in the curved lateral slot 0 and forms the connection between the levers A and D. .The operation of the invention is obvious. v

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The lever A provided with the bifurcation B and the curved lateral slot 0, in combination with the lever D provided with the parin g-knife E, and the lever F provided with the anvilblock G, flange H, and vertical slot J, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvement, as above described, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 27th day of August, 1872.
